The brain is a complex and layered organ that operates much like a computer, but a computer that is individualized, has free will, and is deeply affected by outside forces. Because of this, no two brains are “wired” the same. This is what makes the human brain so unique and fascinating.

Our thought patterns are driven by brain waves, which also help regulate the rest of the systems in our bodies. When those brain waves become “stuck” or interrupted, the body responds in kind. ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, can be described a a dopamine dysregulation disorder. Dopamine is the chemical component that plays an important role in attention, mood, productivity, and emotional regulation. Children with ADHD often have too little dopamine, resulting in interruptions to key dopamine receptors. This makes it harder to focus, engage, and remain emotionally regulated.

A common misconception is that depression and anxiety most deeply affect those living in colder climates. While percentages of those suffering with mental illness can be exacerbated in areas with darker/cooler climates and long winters, the fact is depression and anxiety don’t follow the barometric pressure. Even those in warm/moderate climates like Tampa Bay find themselves struggling with mental health. Thankfully there are places you can go in Tampa to get the help and support you need to manage your own depression and anxiety.
